  1. I am always terrified of what happens when a big tornado hits a school while it is in session. The video from the helicopter clearly shows several schools destroyed, one of which looked like the high school or voc school.
  2. Any reports if any of the deaths were at the hospital? The structure itself looked mostly intact, even if it was all blown out. The cars/helicopter, etc showed it was hit pretty bad. The two previous posts by wxmann and CapeFear made good points.
  3. Maybe this was the biggest factor? I dunno... this will be examined in many ways over the next few months/years Nasty time
  4. MSNBC has that number as well... What a terrible year this has been
  5. I made a mistake on one of those posts... Worcester had 94 fatalities...
  6. Another report I read had a quote from the governor saying that the storm was so loud that people could not likely hear the sirens.
  7. Was this storm particularly fast moving? I have only so far seen one "on the ground" video from a chaser and it seemed to be tracking rather quickly. Would this contribute to more fatalities somehow? 90 fatalities so far, tying Worcester 1953... possibly many more to be found. Very sad
  8. X rays from St. John's hospital found 70 miles away as per CNN article
  9. On one of the networks (TWC?) Al Roker was at the hospital site and was saying he talked to a nurse who was on the 6th floor. They had been told a twister might be there in 15-20 minutes and it arrived in less than 5 minutes. Seemed to surprise people. Awful awful scenes. Can't believe this year.
  10. I can't get it to load... I get an error... I will figure it out.
  11. MLK seems to give us snow pretty often (or bitter cold) Good skiing other than the crowds
  12. Here is part 2 of the MLK 2009 dual event
  13. 2/23-24 of 2010 gave this area a foot - 14" of snow then turned to rain... instant cement. The pic is from 1/18/2009 Part of a medium 1-2 punch
  14. Wonder if I snapped a shear pin with that one LOL (hence the shovel standing, mocking me in the cement!)
  15. Yeah, looks like 6" on 1/18 and 3 or 4" on the 19... I never knew how to find these before. Very neat. LOL at the Feb 25-27 2010 totals near Pete
  16. Looks like i was on the 6" line from the old PNS map... I learned something new!!!
  17. Sadly, the 14 inches went down the drain mostly (we ended up with about 6-8" after the rain) Somehow I had 76" overall...but those were the best 2 events
  18. A couple of nuisance storms from Feb 2010 14" and 10.5" respectively
  19. I def remember T-day 1989 Brought my roommate from the United Arab Emirates to my family's Thanksgiving Dinner in the snow. Good event
  20. On a sad note, Dan moved to the M.A. and became a warminista.... Poor Dan
  21. Do you guys keep a personal weather journal (like a paper one)? The data online is good, but the personal recollections are harder to quantify, Man, I wish we had digital cameras when I was a kid, or even before 2005 in my case...
